WHAT YOU CAN DO
IT’S A REAL SMALL REVOLUTION
WHEN AN ARMY OF ONE
FOUND A SOLUTION
WITHOUT A GUN
THEN A CHANGE COMES INTO RANGE
NEVER QUITE MAKES THE SIX O’CLOCK NEWS
WHEN THE WORDS THIN OUT THE HERD
I’VE GOT TO DO WHAT I CAN DO
DO WHAT YOU CAN DO, ALL YOU CAN DO
BOUND TO START SOMETIME
COULD BE THIS MINUTE
A SLIGHT CONTRIBUTION
AND ONE PERSON DID IT
LOOKS LIKE CHANGE, A LIL’ BIT STRANGE
LIKE LACING UP NEW PAIRS OF SHOES
LOTS OF WORDS THIN OUT THE HERD
I’VE GOT TO DO WHAT I CAN DO
DO WHAT YOU CAN DO, ALL YOU CAN DO
THERE’S NOBODY ELSE
SITTIN ON THE SHELF
TO LIGHT UP A SIGN
CUZ WORDS ARE JUST WORDS, TOSSED TO THE BIRDS
ONLY A DEED CAN PLANT A FEW SEEDS
THERE’S NO ONE TO CALL
SO PICK UP THE BALL
AND LIGHT UP A SIGN
AND CUT THROUGH THE WORDS, THROWN TO THE BIRDS
CUZ ONLY A DEED CAN PLANT THE NEW SEEDS
PLANT THE NEW SEEDS
IT’S UP TO ME
IT’S UP TO YOU
Good tune and production, reminds me of someone i really like, defined sections…nice music etc…….thanks.
Mr. Tom,
LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The BEST “So far”!!!!
God Bless!
Mr. Joe
Love it Tom! Great production and feel. Reminds me a bit of early Steely Dan with backing vocals. Awesome.
The hit’s reached Back Bay! Liam and I are diggin’ this one big time!
Hey Rog,
Thanks kindly for the listen and feedback. Who does it remind you of?
Tom
Hello Joe,
But the best is yet to come, no?
I thank you, my friend.
Tom
Hey Ric,
Glad you’re diggin it. It started with 2 part backing vocals, but then that real sweet “High-high” one showed up, and I just had to.
Thanks, Ric.
Tom
Hey Patrick and Liam,
Really cool party, eh? I always love playing with you, Patrick.
And I’m glad you Back Bayers are diggin’ it big time.
Tom
Sounds much like Arlo Guthrie.trying to be John Lennon…
Hey Thom,
Well, I guess thank you. Not sure Arlo or JWL ever wrote a keyboard based waltz, nor these lyrics, nor composed, played and sang all the parts in any of their recordings, but… Don’t think I ever tried to be anyone else.
Tom, Without an “H”.
I like this one… the range fits your voice well.
Hello David,
“Ol’ Home On The Range”…
Thanks kindly for the listen and comment. Swing away, Merle.
Tom
Hey, nice vocals, waltz-ee ballad ? a lot of
work I’m sure, well recorded. Wes da man, Tom
at hand.
Hey Stanbollama,
Thanks kindly. Not waltzy, but a real 6/8-er.This one took a bit to flesh out of the fairly sizable band. Not too many fights, though.
Tom
One of my favorites as well.
